Thanks for your reply adlplumbing. Yes our underground gas tank still has 800L of gas, so that wouldn't be the problem (and the gas pipe tees off just before the boiler to our hob, which has never suffered from a lack of gas). Strangely enough the problem only appeared once yesterday, but...

Hello, After the recent heat my Halstead Finest Platinum, now 5 years old, failed to heat up domestic hot water with a 'Lockout Flame Signal' error. Now that the weather is not so hot, the boiler works more often. When I check the smell of what comes out of the flu when the boiler fails...
